Beautiful and very popular model/idol Sasaki Nozomi (21) is going to tackle her first real starring role in the movie adaption of the extremely popular cellphone novel “Tenshi no Koi”. It’s a story about female high-school student who has to climb over a shocking trauma and encounters her fated love. The novel includes a lot of serious stuff like rape and abortion. Sasaki might be overwhelmed by playing such a difficult role all of a sudden, but she’s already completely immersed into her role. “All I can I think about now is my role.”

Who fits better as the heroine for THE teen love bible “Tenshi no Koi” than a charismatic teen model? Making cellphone novels into movies is the big thing right now, “Koizora” with Aragaki Yui or “Akai Ito” with Minamisawa Nao are very popular examples. The “Tenshi –” novels are a record-breaking series and no other series is being accessed more than this one.

“Koizora” and “Akai Ito” didn’t do bad with 6 million and respectively 8 million page views when they got released, but “Tenshi –” is far off with its award-winning 13 million page views. It also got turned into a book and the first edition became a best-seller with over 500,000 sold copies.

Nozomi who is currently working as an exclusive model for the fashion magazine “PINKY” together with Kinoshita Yukina (21) got selected for the starring role in the movie adaption of the Japanese female high-school student bible.

Last year she had her acting debut in the movie “Handsome Suit” (starring Kitagawa Keiko), but apart from that she basically has no acting experience whatsoever. The producers are still optimistic and see a lot of potential in her. “She is able to fascinate the people with a lot things and you can see her will-power in her big and beautiful eyes. That’s exactly what a heroine needs.”

There will be a lot of difficulties for Sasaki, if the movie is going to adapt even only some of the the topics talked about in the noviel, such as rape, abortion and schoolgirl prostitution. However, Sasaki herself decided to do this role and she’s very ambitious. “I might not yet know a lot about acting, but what I’m able to is to sympathy with her having to face her painful past and still keep on living a positive life.”

Apart from some hard moments, there are probably also going to be at least one crying and one love scene in the movie. “I don’t know how far I will be able to go, but I’ll properly listen to the director and try to put it into action with all my might!” She said with the will to do everything that’s necessary for a good performance.

Kanchiku Yuri is going to direct the movie and they are aiming to release it this winter.
